Monastery of Panagia Kosmosotira - Second use Marble (3D)
|
|
This is a 3D model at various resolutions (ultra low, low, medium, high, RAW) of a stone relief inserted in the wall of Kosmosoteira in second use.
The monastery is located in the center of the modern town of Pherai (the Byzantine Vera), in the Evros prefecture of Greece. Today only the main church (katholikon) and some ruins of a fortified precinct remain from the original bigger complex. It was a homonymous monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and founded by the Sebastokrator (crown prince) Isaakios Komnenos (born in 1093), son of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos.

| Name | Ultra Low resolution 3D model of the Monastery of Panagia Kosmosotira - Second use Marble |
| Description | This is a ultra low resolution 3D digital replica of the second use marble of the Monastery of Panagia Kosmosotira. A large part of iconocraphy and sculptural decoration found on the katholiko of Panagia Kosmosotira are well preserved. The theme enclosed ceramic ornament is a symbol of the Komnenos dynasty. It is considered one of the oldest emblems of Byzantium and according to researchers it indicates that there was a royal tomb of the family. The eagle is located at the north-east corner of the church. The presence of the single-headed eagle has prompted some to argue that the church is home to the mausoleum and tomb of Isaac Comnenus, as stated in the Typikon of the Monastery and the tradition. In the center of the modern town of Pherai (the Byzantine Vera), in the Evros prefecture of Greece, there is the Church of Virgin as the savior of the universe (or Panagia Kosmosoteira). It was built on a small hill, near the ancient via Egnatia, facing River Evros, thus, in a very important strategic position. The model is aimed for visualisation purposes in low end hardware and it is stored in the X3D file format that carries colour information using the texture mapping approach. It has been digitised using a multi-image based 3D reconstruction approach (Structure from Motion/Multi-Image Dense Stereo 3D Reconstruction). |

| Name | Digitisation of the Monastery of Panagia Kosmosotira |
| Description | The monument was selected to be 3D digitised within the framework of the European Commission funded 3D-ICONS project by the Athena RC Xanthi Division. Its exterior was captured in 3D using the Structure-From-Motion (SFM) and Dense Multi-View 3D Reconstruction (DMVR) methods. Aerial and terrestrial photoshooting sessions were performed during the winter of 2014 always during cloudy days. A total of four digitisation sessions were performed where each resulted a number of image sequences presenting the monument from different points of views. The terrestrial photoshooting sessions were implemented using camera tripods and custom monopods (3m-9m adaptive). We attempted to keep the distance between two terrestrial photoshooting points at 60cm. All aerial photoshooting was performed using a custom hexacopter equipped with gimbal remote controlled two axis tilt-roll camera base, first-person view (FPV) and GPS. A pair of Samsung NX1000 20MP compact DSLR cameras with fixed 16mm and 20-50mm lenses were used. Agisoft PhotoScan (ver. 1.1) has been used for the production of monument 3D digital replica. Although, flight paths were designed they have been performed manually due to bad GPS reception (high buildings around the monument). Furthermore, the calibration of the cameras was performed by the software itself. A total of 4090 photos were used to generated the 3D model. The processing of the image sequences was performed on two computer systems (CPU IntelCoreI74820K 3.7Ghz, 64GB RAM, Radeon R9 290X, Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit). Additionally, empirical measurements between strong (in terms of visibility) feature points on the surface of the monument were performed and used to scale the 3D model. |
